The new Malibu uses the same world platform and suspension setup as the Saturn Aura; the same car was named North American Car of the Year at the Detroit auto show. Derived from GM’s Opel Division in Germany, this car has the same taut ride and positive handling that one expects from German sports sedans. Visually, the new Malibu looks more substantial than the previous model with the Chevy bowtie logo integrated nicely into the new “family” one-bar grille. Interestingly, there are no less than 12 bowties on the exterior, some obvious, others small and discreet like on the headlight bulb reflectors. In terms of everyday ride, it is a night and day improvement over the previous model. I mean here is a Malibu that likes to be put through its paces and I did on California’s Pacific Coast Highway with its endless twists and turns and breathtaking scenery. With the longer and wider wheel- base on California superhighways that are up to six lanes wide with surfaces varying from billiard table to pothole city, the Malibu soaked up everything it came across. The interior of the Malibu, especial- ly the LTZ with its wood trim accents, is a very pleasant place to be and a whole lot more inviting that the rental car look of the previous model. The instrument panel (IP) gives a hint of its European heritage due to its Opel DNA, but is not as “Euro” as the IP in the Saturn Astra I drove during the same event. I also briefly drove the hybrid that is a “mild” hybrid in that it can’t run on battery power alone. But GM figures that in urban use, the hybrid is good for an up to 20 per cent improvement in mileage because it turns itself off when stopped. A “full” hybrid does get 50 per cent and better fuel economy but is about $5,000-$8,000 more expensive. One has to decide if he/she will save more than the purchase price over the life of his/her full hybrid. The only difference I could find in terms of ride and handling between the hybrid and the stock four-cylinder LS was getting used to the engine stop- ping at rest and coming back to life when the brake was released. As always, a day with the car is not a real road test, so I will book the car early next year and get some serious seat time. But for now, the Malibu has gone from a follower to a leader in the mid- size sedan. The 2008 Malibu will be offered in four models with three engines. The base Malibu LS has a starting price of $22,995. The LT package begins at $24,895 and the top of the line LTZ that comes in at $33,610. In addition, the Malibu Hybrid model at $26,995 is the most affordable hybrid system on the market. Malibu offers two punchy yet fuel- efficient dual overhead cam engines, including a standard 169 hp (160 lb/ft of torque) 2.4-litre Ecotec DOHC four- cylinder engine that delivers 9.6L/100 km in the city and 6.5L/100 km on the highway. The topline engine is a 252 hp (251 lb/ft)) 3.6-litre DOHC V6 with variable valve timing that delivers 12.2L/100 km in the city and 7.8 L/100 on the highway. The Malibu Hybrid model is powered by a 2.4-litre Ecotec engine/electric motor (164 hp, 159 lb/ft) and achieves 8.5L/100km in the city and 6.2L/100 on the highway.
